The Correct Temperature; Setting The Temperature; Temperature Range - Miele F 2411 SF Operating And Installation Instructions

It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the ap-
pliance. Bacteria will cause food which
is not stored at the correct temperature
to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influ-
ences the growth rate of these bacteria.
Reducing the temperature reduces their
growth rate.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of
0°F (-18°C) is required. At this tempera-
ture the growth of bacteria is generally
halted. As soon as the temperature
rises above 14°F (-10°C), the bacteria
become active in the food again so it
cannot be kept as long. For this reason,
partially defrosted or defrosted food
must not be re-frozen. Food may be re-
frozen once it has been cooked, as the
high temperatures achieved when
cooking destroy most bacteria.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
– the more food that is stored in it,
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
– and the higher the ambient tempera-
ture surrounding it. The appliance is
designed for use within specific am-
bient temperatures (climate range).
Do not use in ambient temperatures
for which it is not designed.

Setting the temperature

 Touch the  symbol for setting the
temperature.

The correct temperature

The previously set temperature will ap-
pear.
 Set the temperature you want with
the  and  sensor controls. Keep-
ing your finger on the sensor control
changes the temperature continu-
ously.
 Confirm the temperature setting with
OK or wait approx. 8 seconds after
the last touch of the sensor. This tem-
perature will be automatically
adopted.
Tip: The newly set temperature can also
be confirmed and adopted by closing
the appliance door.
The temperature display always shows
the required temperature.
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approximately 6 hours if the
appliance is not very full and for ap-
proximately 24 hours if the appliance
is full before checking the temperature
display. It will take this long for an accu-
rate reading to be given.
 If, after this time, the temperature is
still too high or too low, adjust it
again.

Temperature range

The temperature can be adjusted from
7°F (-14°C) to -11°F (-24°C).
